Different Grain Sizes of Bagasse Ash, Quarry Dust and Lime Enhances the Geotechnical Properties of Expansive Soil

Abstract

The term soil stabilisation refers to a way of strengthening the solidity or bearing capabilities of any type of soil by using managed proportioning, compaction, and the addition of a stabilising agent to improve the engineering properties of the soil using a synthetic method. Soil stabilisation involves using one-of-a-kind technologies to modify and improve the properties of a soil so that it can be stabilised. When low-cost domestically available chemicals are employed in the construction of sub base, sub grade, and other materials, the cost of constructing a pavement is significantly reduced. The minimum stipulated structural strength and bearing quality of the soil that will be reached for each and every layer of material are used to design the pavement. The stabilisation of black cotton soil with bagasse ash, lime, and a mixture of different grain sizes of bagasse ash, lime, and quarry dust was examined in this study. Various laboratory tests, such as atterberg limits, proctor test, and CBR (California bearing ratio test), are used in this study. California The soil's Bearing Ratio rises as the grain size of Bagasse ash grows larger.
